WWII GERMAN STICKPIN - DOUBLE PINS




This is a German WWII stick pin. These items were issued to military, civilian and political individuals for various reasons. In the case of military personnel, a stickpin was given along with a full size award. The soldier could wear the stick pin instead of having to sport the full size badge.

The civilian and political stickpins were usually issued as an indication that the person had attended an event, or to indicate the affiliation to a particular group.

This stick pin was more than likely  issued to civilian personnel.  This is a highly unusual pin. Very interesting double construction. I am not sure why it was issued or what it represented. Dated 1938.

The single stick shows a swirl construction while the other pin shows a smooth construction. The stick is attached to the pin via the use of a circular metal device.
